High Impact Comprehension Strategies: Scaffolding Primary Readers to Complex Text
New standards reflect a belief that real learning comes from engagement with challenging text accompanied by appropriate teacher scaffolding. As primary- grade students are developing
skills in decoding and word recognition, they will also need assistance in building a strong foundation in comprehension. This interactive workshop will focus on research-based instructional strategies that allow us to teach our youngest readers to read words and make meaning simultaneously. Teachers will first examine what complex text means in the primary grades and then will explore effective instructional strategies they can use to ensure all children will gain the skills needed to meet grade-level standards and the demands of complex text.

Reading to Learn
WHILE Learning to Read: Meeting the Standards for Nonfiction, K–2
Primary students are eager for “real world” literacy. How do we plunge children into a rich pool of visual and verbal ideas, while teaching them to read nonfiction? What about children who are still
mastering basic reading skills? This session addresses the unique needs of K–2 readers as they learn and apply their emerging skills to nonfiction. In this hands-on workshop, teachers will learn how to evaluate the quality of nonfiction texts and then how to use those texts to support students’ decoding, vocabulary, and comprehension skills and strategies.
